50 Best Italian Restaurants near Bolingbrook

“I love that fact that when they are super busy, they try to limit the waiting time. We only waited 20 minutes. The server Ben was super friendly and attentive. He doesn't mind all the requests from the kids. When we were running low on drinks, came back with more and took the old ones. He made sure that the table wasn't overcrowded with dinnerware. We wanted to try the different samples of wine and he brought them to us.“

“Excellent service Saturday evening May 18th. Above and beyond. Thank you!“

“Every Friday night is pizza for our family.“

“Lou Malnati's is an absolute gem in the Chicago deep dish pizza scene! As Canadians visiting for a national men's hockey tournament, we were blown away by the incredible pizza served here. From the first bite, it was evident that each pie was made with precision and care, leaving us wanting more. A special shoutout to the manager, Scott, whose meticulous attention ensured that our order was nothing short of exquisite. Lou Malnati's, with its delicious pizzas and exceptional service, made our dinner experience truly memorable. Will recommend not only the Malnati brand but this location specifically! Thank you Scott and team!“

“Most delicious pizza, tried the gluten-free crust with Italian beef & hot giardinare, met my nutritional needs and satisfied my pizza desire!!!“

“Amazing food and service every time. The 8-finger cavatelli is made in house and amazing. The ahi tuna was out of this world with the mushrooms and risotto.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our team had the absolute BEST experience at La Sorella di Francesca! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, the food was incredible, and the service was next-level. A huge shoutout to Donny Greco, who went above and beyond to make us feel right at home—like we were dining with family. It’s rare to find that kind of genuine hospitality and care these days. If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine with heartfelt service, this is the place. We can’t wait to come back!“

“Absolutely amazing food. Highly recommend“

“I have nothing but compliments for this wonderful establishment! My fiancé and I went out to dinner last night and had a taste for authentic Italian. I found this place online and read nothing but wonderful reviews about the food, and service. Located in downtown Westmont. Parking was so easy (right across the street), and from the moment we walked in we were treated like royalty. The manager Sergio greeted us with a huge smile, sat us, and told us a little about the restaurant. Our server Alysa was nothing short of amazing, knowledgeable, and gave us wonderful recommendations. We felt like family! All of the food is made in house, pastas, sauces, and even the wine and desserts! You can taste the quality of the ingredients, and tell that every single person puts so much care into making sure every customer is happy. The whole experience was wonderful, and it’s so nice to see small (not chain restaurants) are thriving. It’s been a long time since we had an experience like this at a restaurant and we appreciate their hospitality! I think we found our new date night spot! We will be back!! OFTEN! If I could give 10 stars I would! 👏🏻🍾🩷🙏🏻🫶🏻“

“Check see & please tell ?“

“Food was fabulous! Margarita Pizza and cheesecake crepe both delicious“

“It’s a nice place to eat. Unfortunately there was a party of 10 celebrating a birthday. They was very loud and obnoxious. Couldn’t really enjoy the atmosphere. Staff didn’t tell them to lower their voices. Maybe they need a special room away from the front so that other paying customers can enjoy their meals and conversations.“

“INCREDIBLE Italian cuisine. Everything was made fresh to order by the owner himself, who also was our server! Small quaint little spot, like your typical little old school italian eatery in Little Italy! Highly reccommend! Oh, the best Vodka Sauce I have ever had in my life. Try the wrapped eggplant in Vodka Sauce, Maddone!“

“Wonderful place to dine., food was delicious and our server, Fidel, was thee BEST ever! Will definitely return when I’m in Illinois again.“

“Food is fantastic with great portions. Get you some good food here.“

“Wonderful food and service!!“

“Loved Papa Joe's of Lockport! It was my first time and I will definitely be back! The ambience, food, and staff are amaziiiing! ❤️“

“Traverso’s Restaurant – A Naperville Heartbeat Whenever Bruce and I walk through the door at Traverso’s, it’s like coming home to family. From the moment you arrive, the energy is warm, welcoming, and unmistakably local—a true neighborhood institution. Owners and brothers Paul Traverso and Mike Traverso have poured their hearts into this place since 1993. Their presence is felt in every hand-shaken introduction and every sincere “How’s everything tonight?” from the staff. There's genuine pride and care in how the restaurant is run, and it shows. The layout is perfect. The lounge/bar area buzzes with friendly chatter over cocktails, while the dining room remains cozy and intimate. It’s a thoughtful division—great for those who want to unwind at the bar, yet still prefer a quiet dinner elsewhere. The recent remodel enhanced that charm without losing the heart of the place. Now, the food—oh, the food. The grilled lemon chicken wings are a revelation: crisp, juicy, tangy, and always our order number one. But it's the pizza that holds a special place in our hearts. Imagine cracker-thin crust so light it melts on your tongue, topped with savory sausage and pepperoni in perfect harmony with the sauce—every bite unforgettable. Service is consistently on point. Every visit means attentive smiles, knowing nods, thoughtful refills, and food that arrives just when you're expecting it. It’s that comforting reliability that makes you feel cared for, always. This place isn’t just a restaurant—it’s ours. Whether for a casual Tuesday night or a family celebration in their elegant dining or event room, Traverso’s delivers excellence wrapped in familiarity. To everyone in Naperville: if you haven’t experienced the exceptional hospitality and authentic Italian fare here, you’re missing out on something special.“

“Food is excellent service was good definitely be back it must try to water the water is very good 👍“

“I’d like to think that if I had a Nonna, she’d be welcoming and never fail to overfeed me. Her food would be hearty and flavorful and she’d never let me leave empty handed. Well, Mamma Onesta’s is as close as I’ll ever get to having a Nonna of my own. Mamma Onesta’s was cozy with the most hospitable staff. She’s situated on the cutest corner of downtown Lockport. Her food is outstanding and the portions are unbelievable. Give this little family business a try - you wont be disappointed!“

“Love this place. Great flavorful food, great wait staff. Our “goto” place for great comfort food.“

“First time there and everything was delicious 👌. Will definitely be going back soon.“

“Everything here is amazing!!!! Employees are great! Best pizza and subs around! Highly recommend!“

“This place has the best Italian food and customer service! The Capri Sogno staff makes you feel like family. Chef Robert and his chefs are artists at there craft! Love it his place!!!!“

“very good razonable prizes“

“We had a private 70th Birthday at the Downer’s Grove location last weekend The food (buffet) was great, and the service was top notch. Our server Rocky and his team were on top of every detail. Our 55 guests were taken care of like we were family. I’d highly recommend this restaurant for your events!“

“We dined here tonight for the 1st time and Rosebud exceeded our expectations! Very welcoming from the moment we walked in until we left. Service was Great, Alex was very accommodating and knowledgeable. Food was outstanding, portions justified the price! Management was very helpful with a certificate that was no longer accepted but they honored it anyway as a courtesy. Great business sense, making the customer happy! We can't wait to come back!“

“We were there Friday night me and my best friend. The manager was exceptional. Food was on point like always.“

“What a stand out team thats making this phenomenal beef with love in their hearts for a good customer experience and interaction. Kristen was killing it on the floor, seemed like she knew every customer and had for years. People like Kristen and her crew don’t just appear out of thin air, come see for yourself…“

“I was on a soft diet for that diet and I thought of Olive Garden. I place a take out order because i had just left the hospital. I got there they was closed. I was willing to wait and i am glad i did. The food was great, Customer service meet my expectation. Branden was very friendly and professional. He is an asset to the company. I had not been to Olive Garden since you guys moved. I enjoyed my food. Hat off to the cooks. I will return very soon.“

“Paisans is quickly becoming one of our favorite restaurants. The bbq chicken salad is my favorite salad in the area. It's hearty, large portion, and always consistent. If you're into chicken vesuvio you should get it here yum yum yum especially the potatoes. We also enjoy their thin cut pizza because it's still thick enough to hold the toppings but is never burnt on the bottom like other places. The meat is quality too when it comes to the toppings we enjoy the pepperoni and sausage. The only potential negative is the restaurant is always extremely noisy but it's a pizzeria and bar so can't really expect anything different and the food is worth it.“

“You can’t beat the quality of the dishes they make…from scratch!! Best subs in the state and the chicken parmigiana is out of this world. Mike and his boys definitely get hospitality! Go now and get some!!“

“Very nice. Highly recommend. Excellent food, very good service, great atmosphere and ambiance. Will definitely be back.“

“Wow! The food here is amazing! We had the chicken parm sandwich and a sausage/beef combo with a side of mini fried raviolis. The red sauce is delicious! Very nice and accommodating owner. Only disappointing thing is we couldn’t try everything. We will be back for sure!“

“Chesdan’s is a long-time pizza and pasta spot in Homer Glen. It’s on the small side but don’t let its small size fool you, they serve absolutely top quality delectable dishes! Our favorite is the Jimmy’s Rigatoni. A must try!!! Get the full size dish to share with your love or to take some home. The serving staff are always friendly and the atmosphere is what you’d expect from a small Italian style eatery. A visit will not disappoint and I think you’ll return again and again. A+“

“Phenomenal food and service“

“Stayed at the doubletree hotel and was very pleasantly surprised how great the food was at Osteria Italian restaurant. We dined here two nights in a row because it was so delicious. Julio our waiter was very attentive and friendly. Made our first evening at the restaurant memorable. I ordered the eggplant parmigiana and Caesar salad. It was wonderful. I had plenty of leftovers and can’t wait to enjoy the other half when I get home. My husband ordered rigatoni with chicken and the soup of the day. He had plenty left over for another meal also. Had two Tiramisu martinis and unfortunately ran out of room for dessert. The second night we sat in the bar for happy hour. Joey, the manager remembered us and made us feel like we were friends dining at his home. Handsome gentleman and incredibly friendly. Tony the bartender managed a full bar of people yet was very available to take our order. Happy hour is a great deal with $7 martinis and affordable large appetizers. Luckily we saved room to share a piece of Tiramisu. Absolutely divine. Can’t wait for our next visit to Chicago to dine here again. Highly recommended.“

“Absolutely fantastic in everyway. -Party of 10 with 2 appetizers, 5 entrees, desserts & drinks sub $400 bucks. Family style shareable plates feed 3-4 easily & you can upgrade for around 10 bucks more for their "big" version which feds 5-6. -Comfortable semi-private room lends itself to an almost home-like quiet atmosphere conducive to having conversations. -Food quality was excellent. Cooked properly ensuring tenderness, moist & flavorful. Spicy dishes were actually spicy. Savory ones were succulent. -Ambiance was culturally interesting & comfortable. It added to our enjoyment through conversation about unique decor pieces. -Even created individual servings of their shareable desserts for our birthday celebrants along with a hardy birthday cheer at our table. All around great experience. 10 out of 10 & will definitely return.“

“Fabulous food and service.“

“This is one of my families favorites. I am not as mich of a fan just because I am limited on what I can eat (keto). There are not very many keto options but either way everyone is always happy with the food and service. We ordered online and picked up last time and everything was fresh and hot. The guy who brought it out was friendly and thanked us.“

“Great service and food! Sat in the bar area.“

“Food was good. I had the spaghetti with meatballs...nice portion as well. What you see in the picture is what I'm bringing home so easily enough for 2 modest sized meal. My gf loved the pomegranate martini and had two....she said she caught a nice buzz“

“Absolutely loved dinner last night and can’t wait to return. Very authentic flavors. All four dishes were well prepared. Chicken Special w/Prosciutto & Fresh Mozz was wonderful. Fettuccine Alfredo - fantastic. Marinara Sauce - spot on. Table salad was delicious. Cocktails were delightful! Tiramisu Cannoli’s IT Ice - all just perfect. Our server made wonderful suggestions and was very attentive. The entire staff was very friendly and welcoming. Excellent experience all around. Really had a great time! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Our family had many memorable meals at Papa Passero’s as my three sons were growing up! It brings back wonderful memories! I was recently there with friends, and it still does a great job of taking care of whole families! Bravo!“

“Since we moved to the area in 2017 this has been our go to spot for my wife and two daughters, last night again did not disappoint - the food , service is on point every time! It’s nice to have a place to go to and wind down after a long week!“

“Beautiful restaurant in a great location. Food was amazing and staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Highly recommend.“

“We arrived late and were tired and hungry. Miss Maria was so nice and kind to serve us. My burger and my daughters salmon Caesar salad were wonderful. Miss Maria knew we were stressed out, she was there to take care of us. We were in town for my cousins funeral and Miss Maria was most accommodating of our needs. We returned in the am for a very nice breakfast.“

“The service was great love the decor and the pizza was delicious.“

“Had a fabulous experience at the new location in Naperville! First weekend open and they did a fabulous job. It was a delight talking to Zachary he was very personable, professional and took time to explain the food/drinks. Loved him! Emma and Ashley behind the bar were attentive, knowledge and took good care of us. Smiles all around from them. This is a great location, atmosphere and will definitely be back!“

“Very fresh ingredients, made to order, piping hot, great taste.“
